It is customary for multi-patches patch series to have a cover letter.
For example, when I send a patch that add corrections to an existing
patch series, I can add permalink of that series' cover letter to be
clear that my patch is applied on top of another patch series.

I often send one, but I didn't think one was necessary in this case.
I'll send one for v2, since I need to reroll.

Does USE_ASCIIDOCTOR_MANPAGE imply USE_ASCIIDOCTOR?

It does not, any more than ASCIIDOCTOR_EXTENSIONS_LAB implies that.  I
will update the documentation.
